Betting on the number of corners in a football match.

Cornering The Market In Corner Kick Betting

Corner betting has evolved quite dramatically over the past few seasons, so much so that many bookmakers are now offering multiple ways to bet on corners. When betting on corners began a few seasons ago, there often just one line to bet on, but now you can find many different ways to spend your money.

The traditional way to bet on football is choosing a team to win the game, but now more than ever there are other ways to find an angle into a football game and find a betting option. Betting on the number of corners is just one way to do that, but it is a way that people are really beginning to take advantage of.

The Different Types Of Corner Bet

If someone had told you ten years ago that right now there would be double-figure markets available just for betting on corners you would probably have told them they were out of their mind. However, that is exactly what they have, and with so many to choose from, each corner gambler has their own favourite market to exploit.

The main market is an over/under line to bet on, with each outcome being priced up at just under evens. There are also alternatives to this line, which work in a similar way to the total goals betting markets, giving you higher and lower corner totals to bet on at different prices.

Elsewhere, you can bet on different groups, for example under 6 corners, 6-8, 9-11, 12-14, over 14. These are harder to predict but can reward you with a bigger price on your selection if you are looking for added value. There is also betting on corners in the first half, who will get the first corner, the first team to get 3, 5 or 7 corners and many other markets. If you thought corner betting way small business, then take a look and you are certainly going to be surprised by what is on offer.

Tips For Corner Betting

There are a number of different options to look out for when you are trying to pick out teams to back in the corner markets. If you are looking for teams who will get a lot of corners then look for teams who like to attack and teams who have flair players who play out wide. For example, if you have a solid attacking team with two wingers who like to run with the ball then the ball is more likely to be crossed in, giving more chance of a corner. The other thing to look out for is teams who defend deep and invite pressure. These teams are more likely to concede corners because of their defensive style.

If you are looking for teams who do not concede or gain many corners then simply look for the opposite to what is above. Look out for teams who have their best and most creative players playing in the middle of the pitch, and teams who play a direct style, these are less likely to work the ball out wide and aim for a cross into the box.

With many markets available to bet on, corner betting has emerged into a serious business, so if you have never taken a look before, head over to the corner markets and look at what you can bet on.
